Air Craft display and working for RAF Cranwell sgts mess

10 July 2018

I was treated to a viewing of the pre fly over practice run of the 100 year celebration at RAf Cranwell last week
and today watched it on TV flying over the Mall LIVE !
all the aircraft had took off from RAF Conningsby and where to fly over the Dome tower at RAF Cranwell .
I took a few photo’s on my phone of a few planes as they flew over , the first to arrive where the Chinook’s Helicopters .
the Helicopter formation arriving from the East over RAF Cranwell Airfield approaching from the East .
and as they passed overhead , they made a right racket those twin rotor Chinook’s .
a few more Fighter planes going over in formation .
and as they approached
Awacs early warning radar .detection plane
another wave of fighter jets .
formation approaching
another formation going overhead
and a few more
the reason I was at RAF Cranwell was to Re-rubber and re-cover two full size snooker tables and a pool table in the Sgts and Warrent officers mess .
one of the finished tables
one had new nets and leathers fitted .
It is not every day that you get to see a 100 plane fly past of aircraft practicing for the fly past down the mall which took place today to celebrate 100 years of the RAF .
